THE PLEASURE OF THE KING.

Behold that day came Pharaoh, and they cried:
70 mightiest of the mighty, thou art Lord
And we are dust, but we can do no more.
Yon capstone toppled. and threescore were slain:
At this we murTnur not, for they are dead,
Our comrades and our brothers, and at peace;
But mark. the sullen rock unfieshed our hands;
Our arms are palsied, lifting; and our eyes
Behold not Pharaoh's jewels, but glare
That smtes them sharply. We can do no more;
Have mercy, Pharaoh, We can do no more
Gazed he upon them steadfastly, and thus,
With half shut eyes, gave answer: What ara We,
Vexing the lazy silence in my Moons
Last night TO me an idle fancy came
And We shall shape it. Hew me now lion,
Remorseless as my wakened wrath to We,
Huge as mountain, couchant, but the face
Shall be that woman's who did please my dream
Within three days see this, or ye die
Go, have spoken" But they cried: I've die
II we fulfill this, Lord Then smiled the king:
"None live but Pharaoh: alone shall live
Hew ye the lion couchant, and the face
Like to the womans who did please my dream
We shall set westward, with Implying eyes,
To watch the sun go down and view the stride
Of night and death to empires and to men
For so the idle fancy came TO me-
Co. have spoken And they did obey,
Hewing the lion couchant, with the face
Of her who pleased his dream. Within three days
The cruel rock was craven, and the eyes
IMPLYING stared upon the west, where came
To empires and to men both death and night.
The king beheld and smiled: This was nv
dream.
Applaud it, slavesl' They spoke not. being

Railroad Commissioners.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 17.-Mr. Gu.
ments argument was commenced before
the supreme justice and Judge Sawyer,
Hoffman and Sabiu in the United States
court in the case of the petition of the Pa
cific railroad commission against Senator
Stanford The United States district at
torney argued that the act of congress ere
ating the commission called for an entire
expose of the company's doings. The
counsel for the railroad used the same line
of argument substantially as Senator Stan
ford and asserted that the 'pryin'g' of the
commission into the private matters rem
dered their work unconstitutional Both
parties were allowed until Monday to file
briefs
Betore the Pacific railroad commission to-
day, o. d. Mills of New York, testified
that he was offered in 1873 controlling
interest in the Central Pacific, consisting of
so per cent of stock In all corporations con-
nected with the road He was offered this
for $25, 000, 900, but declined because he
did not agree in particulars of a building
and was also deferred by the attitude of the
government. Richard F. Stew
ems, accountant for the com
mission, testified that many books
were missing, also vouched on which
large sums of money had been paid by
Stanford and Crocker. He referred es-
pecially to a voucher for S1S,000 paid
Croker for back salary, for which he
could find no authorization.
George R. B. Hayes, counsel for Mrs
Ellen Cotton, in the suit of Cotton VS..
Stanford ct al, appeared with the CORE
spondence between Cotton and Huntington
but an injunction from the United States
circuit court was served restraining MIN
from producing the correspondence.

To Arrange Rates.

ST. PAUL. Aug. 1.-THE Minneapolis
Market Record today says: There have
recently been several meetings of north
west freight men in St. Paul, held to con
slider freight rates between Minneapolis,
St Paul, Duluth and points common to
two OF more of the roads running west
from them. The chief cause of discord is
the grain rate The Manitoba has about
ready to issue a new tariff sheet making the
tariff from all points west of the Minnesota
and Dakota line the same TO either Mime
apolis, ST. Paul or Duluth.
The Northern Pacific has joined in making
that rate, which is to take effect August %.
The existing tariff of both makes a diff
ference in favor of Minneapolis, from all
points coming In direct competitor with
either of the Minneapolis and st. Paul
roads. That differential amounts to some
two or three and one half cents per 100
pounds. The new rate from all its points
at James river county is 20 cents to either
Minneapolis, Duluth or ST. Paul, against a
% cent rate of the Milwaukee i North
western from the same places.
The difference in distance between these
western points and Minneapolis or Duluth
is from % per cent to 40 per cent in favor
of Minneapolis. The Duluth wheat mar
ket is usually cent to three cents higher
than Minneapolis prices. With rates the
same, wheat will go where prices are high
est. The other roads have not yet form
lated plan to meet the new conditions.
Ths probability is that 1t will take a
bitter freight war to settle the question.

WAR CORRESPONDENTS METHODS.
Newspaper Men Who Had Hard Row
to HOe-Writing Historx

To hot-"IliInS HISTORY.
Newspaper men," said an old war CORE
spondent, had hard row to hoe during the
war They were under orders to write in
teresting letters whether circumstances per-
mitted or not, apd those who had any pro-
fessional pride were often placed in the most
dangerous situations under the most irving
circumstances. Much to their regret. they
were often placed so that it was absolutely
impossible to write about an engagement or
battle which they had been sent to describe
II the correspondent had no professional
pride, OF ii he was man with little personal
courage and little honesty of purpose. or a
man OF violent prejudice and capricious
temper, be was apt TO resort to questionable
schemes to carry out his Instructions
Sometimes correspondents were attached to
the personal staff of a subordinate general.
and naturally they saw a battle from the
standpoint of the general who favored them
In scores of cases this class of correspondents
described g-sat battle, making the COM
mander of sons division the hero OF the occa-
sion. Nearly every soldier in the army would
recognize the injustice of this, but it was ac-
cepted at home as the truth Such correspond
ents saw only the fighting Of the division to
which they were attached, and they were
prone to believe that the one division did all
the fighting that was done on that dav. They
described what they saw, and often gave a
column 10 division that did little or nothing.
and paragraph to the remainder of the army
that bore the brunt of a contest
There were other correspondents who car.
ried rifles or who held commissions in the
army, and who wrote as soldiers. describing
only the part that their own commands PLAYED
In the contest, speaking conscientiously, how
ever, from hearsay of the part played by
other regiments, brigades and divisions
There were correspondents, again, who had
all the daring of the most courageous soldier,
who lived, as it were, on the skirmish line,
and who, having great freedom of action,
were now with the scouts, now with the
pickets, now at headquarters, and who made
it point to write history, spiced, it may be,
by personal adventure, and colored a little by
the circumstances under which they wrote
To this class the general officers of the army
and the country at large were greatly in
debted, because they did write history. y

A Eutfle Attempt,

ST. Louis, Aug IA diabolical az
tempt was made to night to wreck an out
going passenger train On the Ohio & Mis-
sissippi railroad, but luckily it was a
futile one. As Special Officer
Clancy, of the East ST. Louis police
he discovered at the crossing of that road
and the Belt line, which encircles the east
ern part of the city, that two coupling pins
had been driven into the frog Of the track
evidently with the design of wrecking
the train The outgoing passenger
was nearly due and mo tiuie was
to be lost. With the aid of big rock, but
only after much labor, Clancy released the
pins from the frog and a moment later the
train sped by, its occupants all unconscious
of the danger they had escaped. The tracks
at this point are on high embankment and
had the train struck the pins it would have
been dashed down the embankment and a
fearful loss of life would doubtless have
ensued. No one is yet suspected of the
fiendish act, nor can any motive for 1t be
assigned
